Sagittarius, the Archer - Astrology on the Web Click to tell your friends about this page! Mutable , change-loving Sagittarius governs long-distance travel, matters of the higher mind (philosophy, religion and the law), cultural pursuits – and having a good time! It is a fire sign , so Sagittarians are positive, forthright communicators who love travelling – although you do tend to be restless and hate to take orders. The Sun in Sagittarius favours social status, the higher mind and travel, especially in pursuit of idealistic aims in faraway places. Sagittarians are idealists and usually much in demand socially, because you are like a breath of fresh air. Search for Truth and Knowledge Sagittarius is a dual sign, which has (of course) both an up and a down-side. The symbols for Sagittarius are the hunter (archer) and the centaur, a mythical half-man, half-horse. These signify the search for truth and knowledge, as well as the constant pursuit of adventure and new ideas. Intellectual curiosity covers a wide range of subjects, but you do get bored and restless when surrounded by dull people or circumstances.

You would rather learn on your own through travel and experience than endure structured classroom environments and routine work assignments. However, having broadened your knowledge and gained experience in the world on your own, you could become an excellent teacher or administrator in the very educational system you once found so restricting. You readily adapt to change and home is where you hang your hat. This is both a strength, because it is a survival mechanism, and a weakness because it makes you vulnerable to the demands and influence of others. Frank Sagittarius does not hesitate to give an honest opinion, which can seem tactless at times – although it is rarely your intention to be cruel. You have a ready wit and appreciate the humour in even the grimmest situations. Energy and Enthusiasm Needless to say, you much prefer to be the boss in any situation and must constantly watch your tongue in the unhappy event that you find yourself (temporarily!!) in the position of an underling. Before you assess the practicality or worth of what you are doing, before you sort out your true emotions, and before you take time to reason things out intellectually, you have a tendency to shoot first and ask questions later. Communication-oriented Sagittarians are forever bubbling with energy and enthusiasm.

Independent and hard to pin down for long, this is the sign of the bachelor, but even married Sagittarians seek to maintain some aspect of personal independence. Jupiter, the benefic planet of fortune and good luck, endows a generous nature with a friendly, optimistic disposition. A natural politician, you like knowing everyone and going everywhere, for life is something to be enjoyed every day. Addicted to all the good things, you know how to get maximum enjoyment from them, but too much of a good thing can be problematic, and prudence is difficult for most Sagittarians to acquire. Being overly spiritual or too philosophical, for example, gets you too far out of touch with the real world. Despite heroic efforts to be prudent in one area, you can still manage to zoom into bankruptcy by overindulging elsewhere. On the other side of the ledger, your attempts to be prudent can get so far out of line that you can turn into a miser. Passion for Sports Enthusiastic Sagittarius has a passion for sports. Physically challenging endeavours of all kinds, including archery, jogging, hang gliding, sailing, and fishing (especially for big game fish) are favourite activities.

One big challenge to overcome may be the battle of the bulge, when your fondness for food, glorious food and a good drop finally catches up with you. A natural gambler and risk-taker, you usually come out on the winning side, especially when you try your luck at horse or dog racing. You love music, art, dance, and drama and have considerable talent in these areas. Sagittarius rules the thighs, hips, and, to some extent, the feet. Physical problems, however, are apt to be the result of unrestricted diet or an over-indulgent pursuit of other pleasures. Sagittarians are also subject to an overpowering urge to gamble, which can be ruinous for some. Your colours are maroon, tan, navy, orange, and cobalt blue. The ancients associated the ruby with Sagittarius, while modern astrologers give this sign the turquoise. Your highly adaptable, dual personality can easily associate itself with both gems. Because Sagittarius is associated with bigness in general, flowers for this sign include the large blooms such as huge mums, hydrangeas, dahlias and peonies.

| Sagittarius Sun Sign - Zodiac Signs - Article by Astrology.com Sagittarius Sun Sign - Zodiac Signs BY ASTROLOGY.COM NOVEMBER 20, 2009 05:04 PM EST Share Share Share Sagittarius, the ninth sign of the zodiac, is the home of the wanderers of the zodiac. It's not a mindless ramble for these folks, either. Sagittarians are truth-seekers, and the best way for them to do this is to hit the road, talk to others and get some answers. Knowledge is key to these folks, since it fuels their broad-minded approach to life. The Sagittarian-born are keenly interested in philosophy and religion, and they find that these disciplines aid their internal quest. At the end of the day, what Sagittarius wants most is to know the meaning of life, and to accomplish this while feeling free and easy. It's the Archer that represents Sagittarians, although in this case it's a Centaur (half man, half beast) that is flinging the arrows. Centaurs were the intellectuals of ancient Roman mythology, and Sagittarians are quick to consider themselves their modern-day counterparts.

Those born under this sign are clear thinkers, and choose to look at the big picture most of the time. They also like it when others agree with their well-thought-out point of view. The alternative to this, for better or for worse, is a Sag who can become argumentative and blunt. That's not to say that these folks are intransigent -- Archers will listen to what others have to say, in keeping with the Mutable Quality assigned to them. Indeed, Sagittarians are enthusiastic consumers of information (and enthusiastic in general), the better to get the answers they need. It's also a good idea to give Sags lots of room to explore their world. Once these folks start to feel hemmed in, they'll become impatient and difficult. Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter. In ancient Roman times, Jupiter was the King of the Gods, and most Sagittarians would say that the royal pedigree has been passed on to them. The Sag-born are generous and just -- much like a noble leader. These folks are also expansive in their thoughts, as well as in their approach. Sags are forever reaching for knowledge, understanding and answers. They are outspoken in their beliefs, at times to the point of exaggeration.

This may be due to their unflinching optimism. Sags are also a lucky bunch, thanks to Jupiter's golden glow. They're quick to take a gamble on things, feeling both lucky and smart. While the process of exploration is what fuels Sagittarians (and translating that to others as a teacher and philosopher), they need to be aware of their tendency to procrastinate. Those born under this sign can be quite self-indulgent since things come so easily to them (thanks to their charming and sociable natures). Smart Archers, however, will catch themselves in time, the better to continue their good work. The Element associated with Sagittarius is Fire. Just as a fire can move quickly and uncontrollably, so can Sagittarius as they flit from one thing to the next, never looking back. For the Sag-born, it's all about action and adventure (and, hopefully, conclusions). These folks love their physicality and are often athletic, and certainly full of stamina. Life for these folks is played full-on, which is why it's chock-full of experiences. Archers are outgoing, enthusiastic and tend to overstep their bounds as a result, falling prey to the likes of foot-in-mouth disease.

They can talk so fast (and so much) that they don't process the full weight of what they're saying, leading to the occasional hurt feeling. Often, however, their words serve to inspire others and to get things going. Yes, Sagittarians are straight-ahead folks who are curious, spiritual and true believers. The fact that they attract others with ease should be no surprise, since they have a great sense of fun and enjoy a good time. They don't lack for confidence, either, not a whit! High-spirited Sags love to socialize -- with an ever-changing crew. The athleticism of Sags lends itself to challenging sports, and they definitely know they're up to the task. That's why you're likely to find them in an around-the-world solo boat race or climbing up the highest peaks (where they should be mindful of their legs and hips). No stretch is too big for a Sag, if only because these folks know they're ready (and lucky to boot). Mental games such as chess or debate also fuel the Sag's mood. Moody colors they'll wear, since they favor rich maroon and navy hues. When it comes to love games, the Archer is playful, flirtatious and always on top.

The great strength of the Sagittarius-born is their philosophical, wide-open and curious nature. These folks seek both knowledge and truth, and they are eager to share their explorations with others. Their optimistic and generous spirit makes them a pleasure to have around.

However, as with the archer itself, much is based both in interpretation and the preference of the writer, and can range from simple to extravagant. The astrological symbol for Sagittarius represents the bow and arrow. Above are some examples of commonly used styles for the Sagittarius symbol. Each of these is equally valid - there is no 'correct' version as long as the general shape is maintained. It does make more sense intuitively to keep the bow line at a right angle to the arrow, but that may be getting a little picky. Origins of the zodiac symbols and signs The word 'Zodiac' means circle of animals (though note a couple of signs aren't animals in the normal sense). These 'animals' were based originally on the pattern of the stars in their corresponding star constellation. Basically what the earliest astronomers and astrologers saw when they squinted at the night sky. Due to this although Sagittarius will always be represented by an archer (whether man or centaur), there isn't any one 'correct' shape or design for that archer (or centaur). It's a cosmic game of join the dots, and some constellations even have alternative ways to form the animal from the dots (stars).

Sagittarius the archer (or centaur) Any picture of the shape, concept or profile of an archer (or centaur) can therefore be comfortably used here. Designs range from the space-age to the ancient, and are limited only by the imagination of the artist, as long as it gets the point across. Below is a representation of Sagittarius the archer (and the Sagittarius symbol, inset) from a medieval wood carving from the 16th century. While it's not suggested this is a great picture (hey, you try carving something into the side of a tree which will look sexy in 400 years time!) it does show how the basic concept of Sagittarius hasn't changed much over the centuries. Related Sagittarius articles: Sagittarius Sign Meaning Sagittarius: Nov. 22 - Dec. 21 Sagittarius Sign Meaning By Brian Palenske Want to know the meaning of the Sagittarius sign? Sagittarius (the Centaurian Archer) is the 9th sign of the Zodiac, and the 3rd, and last of the Fire Signs.

This fiery nature is different from that of Aries and Leo, in that its directness and honesty isn't used to achieve a goal or prove themselves, it is unconscious and, more often than not, unintentional. ADVERTISEMENT What is on a Sagittarians mind immediately comes out of their mouths; a Sagittarian is seldom tactful, and when you meet one that is, they thankfully had a bevy of milder and more considerate Zodiacal influences active on their day of birth. Sagittarius is also the third of the four mutable or dual signs; this is clearly seen in the typical Sagittarian wanderlust and their inability to keep still. The symbol of Sagittarius was often drawn up as an archer in medieval and renaissance frescoes, but classically Sagittarius was not only an archer, but also a centaur; the famous half-horse, half- human creature of the Greek myths. Some think that the original model for this image was Chiron, the centaur that taught medicine to the ancient Greek sages.

The house of Jupiter Jupiter is the planet that has to do with the expansion of human boundaries, through adventure, travel, philosophy and religion, and Sagittarius is used to symbolize these activities in most astrological writing throughout the world. Jupiter people tend to be friendly and gregarious, but because of the elemental nature of this Fire Sign, Sagittarians are known to breach protocol or make embarrassing statements because of how blatantly honest they tend to be. Jupiter is also called the planet of "expansion" in many modern textbooks, and this may explain why the Sagittarian temper is prone to flare-ups from time to time. But these wrathful fits usually don't last long; people born under this sign have a way of making up that may even cause a Scorpio to let bygones be bygones. Much of the trouble Sagittarians get themselves into is the result of their tendency to shoot first and ask questions later; consideration of the consequences usually comes after the word has been spoken or the deed has been done.

The basic Sagittarian personality Sagittarian people love putting on a show for others; you'll find them capable of doing almost anything for applause, but are usually not found among stand up comedians; their awkwardness is often employed to their advantage in ensemble performances, however. This love of entertaining is nothing compared to their love of travel; it's rare to meet a Sagittarian who has never left their place of birth in their entire lives. Many of the people born under this sign of Jupiter have luggage at the ready; it would be a good bet to assume that a Sagittarius you know has more frequent flyer miles than every other sign put together. They tend to be brave in their own way, and often are accused of being somewhat naive. Many Sagittarians are followers of a particular religion or philosophy, if not ministers or professors or vocal adherents of what they have come to believe in. The people born under this sign tend to take risks, and if not gamblers, they'll take risks in love, diving into romance in a sort of reckless way, because they know that, despite their mistakes and gaffes, that luck, or their guardian angel, or "someone upstairs" is looking out for them; and they usually are right.

Published on Jan 16, 2014 Watch more How to Understand Your Astrological Chart videos: Hi, I am Jenny Lynch, and I'm talking about the zodiac signs and what they mean. So the first sign of the zodiac is Aries, and Aries is represented by a ram, okay? and is a fire sign. So we know that Aries people have the qualities of being impulsive, of being leaders, of being very impatient.

They're also natural born entrepreneurs; they want to do things, they don't want to just sit here; they want to just go and do things. Taurus is the bull, does not move as fast as Aries. Taurus is grounded, is patient, but it also can be very stubborn. So that's is one of the qualities of Tauruses, that they're fixed; once they make out their mind is hard to change it.. With the Gemini, that's the sign of the twins, they're always changing their mind, okay? Is a dual sign, is an air sign too, so qualities of Gemini are endlessly curious, very social, friendly people, intellectual too, and they like a lot of stimulation. When we get to Cancer we are talking about the sensitive side. It's the crab, and if the crab gets sensitive, it would close down and run away, but they're also very much into their family, and they're very sweet and loving people, you just have to win their trust. When it comes to Leo, Leo is the lion, roar, you've heard this before, but it does mean that the person is a very loyal person. They are very honorable generally, generous, good courteous.

Those are other fine qualities. they can also be very talented. With Virgo, the Virgin. We are talking about someone who is interested in health, nutrition, who is very organized usually, although the key word here is compulsive. And so, either they'll be really neat, or they could be very sloppy. But the main thing about Virgo is that they love to serve other people. So if you have one in your life you're quite lucky. Now, we get into Libra. Libra is the sign of the scales, and Libras are all about beauty, grace, refinement, the arts. They're into relationships very much. You'll never ever hardly ever see a single Libra. Let's talk about Scorpio. Scorpio is the scorpion okay. It's also the eagle. There's two different types of Scorpios they say; the ones that are very high with moral standing, and the other ones that go down, they take that road instead. So when you are thinking about a Scorpio do, you are thinking about someone who is very intense, who is very driven, and who can very much want to be a part of your life and merge.

This is someone who doesn't take any thing lightheartedly. I'm talking about a Sagittarius, we are talking about lighthearted. Sagittarius is the happy go lucky sign of the archer. And they always say with Sagittarius that the symbol of the archer pointing the bow back it means that they are looking far into the future, or a far distance away. So these people often love to travel, and love foreign cultures, and they're very philosophical. Capricorn, this is the goat, the mountain goat. Highly, highly ambitious, they want to climb the mountain alright? You get the idea here, it's a earth sign, they're very practical, really organized and they usually do really well in business, and with any kind of structure, because they're ruled by Saturn. When we get to Aquarius, this is the friendship sign. It's also the water bearer; of carrying of liquids, but is the most friendly social sign of all. Very strong with humanitarians, they love to be around groups of people, and they often make great doctors. When we get to Pisces, we are talking about another dual sign; the fish swimming in two different directions.

So, Pisces is often a very sensitive, very mystical, and very misunderstood sign, okay? They are highly sympathetic, and as I said before, this is a sign that kind of go with the flow, it's a water sign. And those are the twelve signs of the zodiac, and a little about them. Category Sagittarius Constellation: Facts About the Archer Sagittarius Constellation: Facts About the Archer By Kim Ann Zimmermann | June 20, 2013 02:59pm ET MORE ((ImgTag||null|Riding low in the summer sky is the constellation Sagittarius, looking like a teapot and containing some of the finest deep sky objects. Full Story .|Starry Night® Software|null|false)) Occupying 867 square degrees and containing the most stars with known planets (16), Sagittarius is the largest constellation in the Southern Hemisphere and the 15th largest constellation overall. The constellation has many bright stars and is very visible with the naked eye.

As is the case with all of the Zodiac constellations, Sagittarius was recorded in the 2nd century by the Greek astronomer Ptolemy, and it is Latin for archer. Locating Sagittarius Sagittarius is at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, and the galaxy is at its densest point as it makes its way through Sagittarius. In addition to Capricornus and Scorpius, the constellation borders Aquila, Scutum, Serpens Cauda, Ophiuchus, Corona Australis, Telescopium, Indus and Microscopium. Right ascension: 19.11 hours Start Over | More Quizzes Notable stars and objects The constellation’s brightest stars — delta, epsilon, zeta, phi, lambda, gamma-2, sigma and tau Sagittarii — form a star pattern, or asterism, called the Teapot. Also referred to as Kaus Media (middle bow), Kaus Australis (southern bow) and Kaus Borealis (northern bow). delta, epsilon and lambda Sagittarii come together to form the archer’s bow.

The brightest star in Sagittarius and the 36th brightest star in the sky, epsilon Sagittarii is 125 light-years distant and 375 times brighter than the sun. While typical naming conventions have the alpha star as the brightest star in a constellation, German celestial cartographer Johann Bayer did not follow his own naming rule when he got to Sagittarius in 1602, therefore naming the brightest star epsilon Sagittarii. Forming the top of the Teapot, lambda Sagittarii is 77 light-years from the sun and an orange giant. The arrowhead is marked at the tip by gamma Sagittarii, an orange giant that is about 95 light-years from Earth. With a magnitude of 2.1, Sigma Sagittarii this is the second brightest star in Sagittarius. Making up the armpit, zeta Sagittarii, also known as Ascella, is the third brightest star in the constellation. It is a double star about 90 light-years distant.

Image added on July 2, 2012. Credit: European Research Media Center Sagittarius is home to the bright blue hypergiant Pistol Star, one of the brightest stars discovered in the Milky Way. While it is bright, it is barely visible to the naked eye due to a great deal of interstellar dust that surrounds it. It is part of a dense region full of massive young stars known as Quintuplet Cluster near the center of the galaxy. Sagittarius is also home to some interesting objects. Most notable is a bright radio source called Sagittarius A* (pronounced "Sagittarius A-star). Scientists think that area of space may hold a black hole. That region of space also contains several nebulae, including the Lagoon Nebula (M8 or NGC 6523), a large interstellar cloud about 50 by 110 light-years in dimension.

The Omega Nebula (M17 or NGC 6618) and the Trifid Nebula (M20 or NGC 6514) are star nurseries birthing dozens of new stars. The Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy was the first globular cluster ever discovered outside the Milky Way.

The creature is aiming an arrow toward its neighbor Scorpio. The lore has Sagittarius the Archer shooting Scorpio the Scorpion, which had been sent to kill Orion the Hunter. Sagittarius is sometimes confused with another centaur, Chiron of the Centaurus constellation. The Babylonians associated Sagittarius with the god Pabilsaĝ, who had two heads (one human, one panther), wings and was sometimes called "the wild bull with multicolored legs." In astrology, which is not a science , Sagittarius is the ninth sign in the Zodiac and represents those born between Nov. 22 and Dec. 21.

Supporters of astrology believe in a spiritual sense each life can find purpose through study of the stars. Many believe that assistance and consultation in a persons’ daily life using stars, planets, the Earth’s moon and sun. Astrologers use the constellations we call the zodiac , for twelve astrological signs: 12.

Pisces the Fish Beginning with Aries on March 21 and ending with Pisces on March 20, the twelve constellation names determine your zodiac sign by your date of birth. Astrologists and those who follow astrology believe that a person’s zodiac sign indicates that person’s destiny and personality. The constellations and zodiac calendar are also spiritually related to colors. Colors indicate very different meanings. Choice of astrological colors can lead you to achieve success within yourself and in the way others see you. Using the same astrological calendar listed above, Aries through Pisces, the following is a brief explanation of zodiac colors, and planet affiliation spiritually related to each sign of the zodiac. Aries Aries is represented by The Ram constellation. Anyone born between March 21 and April 19 is an Aries on the zodiac calendar. All shades of red are colors that symbolize those people born under this sign. Red is often linked with displays of aggression, power, force and energy. The brighter shade of red, the more intense the passion. People born under the sign of Aries are typically domineering, strong and powerful, which is equally indicated by the shade of red.

Wearing red shows a sense of confidence. Aries is ruled by the planet Mars and this planet represents desire, energy, and action. Taurus Birthdays between April 20 and May 20 are under the zodiac sign of Taurus which connects with the Bull constellation. All blues, yellows, and deep greens describe the astrological colors of Taurus. Blue is associated with nature, specifically the sea and sky. The color blue is a calming color. Taurus would be born between the dates of April 20 and May 20. These individuals are generally stabile, trustworthy, loyal, and wise. Colors representing Taurus also include color green (also an earth color). Green signifies the beginning of spring with characteristics include growth, health, and adventure. Pastel yellows for Taurus indicates softness and peace; affection and charm. Gemini The sign of Gemini is attributed to people born between May 21 and June 20. The main color of Gemini is yellow, with orange being a secondary shade. These two colors and the Gemini zodiac sign are charming, and life can be more beautiful and interesting when they are around, as long as they don’t get bored.

The color yellow for the Gemini indicates energy, happiness and sunshine. Geminis’ are typically active and have good communication skills. However, studies show that overusing yellow may also create stress, so Gemini’s should limit use of this color. Another representative color for Gemini is orange. Orange is a mixed blend of aggressive red and bright yellow. The color orange indicates sociability and intelligence. Gemini is ruled by the planet Mercury, which makes them very good at multi-tasking; often at their best when doing two things at once. Cancer Next in our list of twelve zodiac signs is Cancer represented by The Crab constellation. The person born between June 21 and July 20 is generally very patient. Moods, both negative and positive are felt by cancer-born individuals to the fullest. These moods would include joy and sorrow; compassion and sadness. A Cancer is typically a giving and nurturing person. The best colors for Cancer are pale colors, such as violet and sea green. Sea green violet are the color choices for Cancer-born people. The color violet usually represents devotion, peace, high-ideals and spirituality. The color violet also enhances nurturing qualities. Sea Green in Cancer influence the good-natured individual.

Violet and sea green are affiliated with the planet Uranus and the Earth’s Moon. Leo Leo is the fifth sign in the zodiac and is represented by the zodiac constellation the Lion. Leos are born between July 21 and August 22. A Leo, like a lion is courageous, confident and independent. Also in similarity to a lion, Leos are thought to represent royalty. They are sometimes overbearing and vain, but also smart. The colors attributed to Leo are purple, yellow and orange. Rich orange is thought of as a pleasant and positive color that reflects a balance of determination, strength and energy. Purple, often seen as the color of royalty, is a combination of red and blue, which indicates force (for red) and stability (for energy). Purple is often connected with luxury, power and ambition. Yellow, for Leos is indicative of the Earth’s brightest star, the Sun. The color yellow for Leos’ brings about clarity and creativity. It enhances communication and confidence. Virgo Virgo is affiliated with Mercury and the Earth’s Moon. Virgos are born between August 23 and September 22. Colors of Virgo are deep browns and greens, natural shades linked with Mother Earth.

White and grey are also colors that represent Virgo. The constellation group associated with the Virgo zodiac sign is the Virgin. Earth signs indicate individuals that are practical and secure. White is the color of peace, purity, innocence and cleansing. Grey is a combination of white and black, the color of control and rationalism. Because Virgo is an earth sign, shades of browns, greens, beiges and tans are good colors for Virgos. Virgo is the least colorful sign in the zodiac, but apparently they are wholesome and pure in spirit. Libra The zodiac sign for Libra is represented in the constellation of “Balanced Scales”. The scales are the only image in the zodiac that is not symbolized by a person or animal. Libra’s tend to be charming, romantic, and diplomatic. They may also be self-indulgent and uncertain. In general, Libra-born individuals like sharing and gentleness, and don’t like violence and injustice. Birthdates for Libras range between September 23 and October 23, Librans are known for their analytical abilities. They can weigh and balance decisions better than any of the other eleven zodiac signs are able to do.

The primary colors for Librans are gentle blue or green shades. Soft blues are thought to heal the mind and bring relaxation and peace. Pale green is thought to accomplish the main goal of Librans, which is keeping the mind, body and soul in perfect balance. Scorpio The true generic trait for Scorpios is intensity. They feel great love, desire, and sensitivity. Scorpios are perceptive, clever and resourceful. They are very powerful and focused. Scorpios can be jealous, stubborn and determined to succeed.
